You're welcome, and thanks for that feedback :) I'm so glad you find the site useful!

I hope I can put your mind at ease though: Social authentication would not put our site at risk of going down if one of the other sites was hacked. The main thing that would happen is that people who used to sign in using only Facebook (or whatever) would not be able to sign in that way anymore, and would have to resort to having a site-specific username and password here.

Fixed the issue "Class mode on the environments tool does not advance photos"

Or, of course, maybe I didn't. Let me know if you still have problems ;)

Upload size has been raised to 5MB :)

Raised the image upload size from 2MB to 5MB :)

Pssst, this is out in beta for full members now! :D

Okay, on review, I think we will have another tool whose focus is "objects," both individual objects with strong lighting, and groups of objects arranged as still life. However, we'll continue to have the "Close up (still life)" tag in the environments tool for images that exist in a sort of grey area between being a scene and a largish still life.

I fixed a major lag error that had been building up on the "Your Studio" page, which is where logging in typically dumps out to. That might have been involved! I'm just puzzled because I'd expect a different error than 404 for a timeout.

Regardless, just glad it is happy and working for you now! :)

Yay! I'm so happy to hear that HornetOfJustice!

I'm very excited about all this feedback, it is very helpful and inspiring. Thank you all! Keep it coming!

Here's another question: Would it make sense to break this idea in to two, and put "still life" in its own tool entirely?

That is utterly bizarre. How did you eventually manage to login to make this post?

The next time you see that 404, can you try to copy the URL you ended up at? If you can't login to send it to me, you could send it to webmaster@line-of-action.com

Those are great ideas!

Indoors and outdoors is already designated in this version of the tools, but I can totally see season being a big deal here.

Hi all! We have the start of a new tool out today -- scenes and environments! For now, use of this tool is limited to full subscribers/backers using reward code time (Thank you for supporting us!!!)

Right now the image focus is largely on environments in which you might place a figure, such as a human or animal, but there are a few that are more still-life like. We'll work to expand both sorts of images in the tool.

I'd love your feedback on where the new tool should go from here.

For example:

* What sorts of tags do you need to be able to effectively sort these images?
* What sort of time intervals should be standard for these? Does the 30 second starting place still make sense?
* What emphasis would you like to see as the photography collection is expanded?

Unfortunately, for this moment in time, 2MB is our current upload limit - I'm working hard on fixing this, as well as better error messages to let you know WHY uploads may be failing in various situations. Sorry about that! I really hope to have this corrected before the new year.

In the meantime, reducing the picture dimensions a bit or running it through a compressor like TinyPNG (it compresses .jpg, .png and .gif files I think) can get most pictures under 2MB without a real loss of quality.
